This was the front entrance to St. Nicholas of Tolentine
Elementary School, 2335 University Avenue. The sign over the
"BOYS" entrance to the right of center indicates a fund raiser
from June 5th to June 19th, 1950, to "Help Finish The Church Of
The Bronx." The goal was $100,000. The door to the left of
center indicates "GIRLS." When I went there ('45-'53), I
remember all the classes being co-ed. I don't remember using
separate entrances. I vaguely recall forming up by class in two
columns - boys in one, girls in the other - and entering the
main entrance together. My younger brother, Steve, is standing
between the cars looking toward my father's camera. He is all
"suited up," so, I assume this was some kind of Sunday function,
either before or after Mass.

This photo was taken by my best friend, Steve Haimowitz,
standing on the northeast corner of Decatur Avenue and Gun Hill
Road, looking east towards the Third Avenue El, with a train
coming westbound for that tricky southbound turn onto Webster
Avenue; the White Plains station is visible in the far
background. The photo was taken around 1971 or 1972. If you look
carefully at the wooden post just to left of the word "Dine" on
the storefront (the place sold dinette sets), you can just about
make out the old oval "Esso" sign on the corner.

Taken in about 1949, I am standing near the corner of Morris
Avenue and 164th Street. You can see the Fleetwood movie theater
in the background with 165th Street beyond. Now playing!
Greer Garson and Clarke Gable in Adventure plus "a top musical,"

This photo was taken by Steve Zabel in March of 1970. This
famous section of the 3rd Ave El structure with its graceful
curved steel arches is at Mosholu Parkway and Webster Avenue,
looking north. At this point the el structure on Webster Avenue
passes over Mosholu Parkway which in turn passes over Webster
Avenue. The original photo appears to be taken from the roof of
the apartment house on Botonical Square (at Botonical Garden
Station). Frisch Field would be below and to the right of the
El. In the distance, from the right, are the apartment houses
going west from Webster to Decatur, then Decatur Avenue, and
then the apartment house 375 E. Mosholu on the other corner. The
apartment house in the foreground is also a Mosholu Parkway address.

This photo was taken on the corner of Washington Avenue and
174th Street in the Bronx, circa 1942, by Biagio Vivolo. This
famous Bronx four-corners area included a bicycle repair shop,
Barber Shop, Candy Store and the private home in this picture.
